  Effect of Abrasive Water Jet Machining Parameters—An Experimental Investigation

  By Manikandan Vai, P. Amuthakkannan, A. Muthiah

  Abstract: Machining studies on the fiber reinforced polymer composites is vital requirement for the composites application in different fields. Particularly advanced machining techniques like abrasive water jet machining can be machined with higher accuracy and distortion free composites. In this work aims to study the abrasive machining parameters on the basalt fiber polymer composites. The woven basalt fiber reinforced polymer composites were prepared using hand layup techniques. The machining effect of …

  Review on Natural Fiber Composites: Banana/Hemp Fiber and Its Hybrid Composites

  By Manikandan Vai, P. Amuthakkannan, V. Arumuga Prabu

  Abstract: The centuries ago usage of composites materials plays important role in industrial revolution. In ancient days Egyptians used straw as reinforcement in clay bricks to build house. With the invented of glass fiber and resins, glass fiber reinforced composites found its application in many areas. Abundance nature and moderate specific strength than most of the organic fibers, low density and biodegradable nature make the natural fiber as attractive reinforcement in …
